How Players Are Loaned.


President Young thinks that. in some degree,
the 1oaning of players is beneficial. As to the
system he says: II am notified. IN the course of
a few days. that the New York player has signed
a contract with Boston. This must be executed
in due form and promulgated all other
tracts Now. If Boston agrees to release
that player in a certain contingency, after the
lapse of certain length of time, there is no law
regulation to prevent 1t. This agreement,
you understand. forms part of any contract
recognized by the League, nor would a failure to
observe the provisions of it have any status as a
case of which the League must take cognizarce.
1t is altogether a private agreement. and its OBJ
servance is simply matter of honor between
clubs
1T should be remembered that the consent of
the player must be secured to sign with Boston
IL he has been released by New York. for he is
then his own master and can sign not as he
pleases. In this point, too, the question of
honor enters. If after being released, the
player should change his mind and refuse to
sign with Boston. he could rot be forced to do so.
There would be remedy for either club.
Now, suppose that after the lapse of the
psriod agreed upon, New York wants the player
back again, but Boston refuses to release him;
New York cannot get him, nor can the player
himself secure his release. If, however, Boston
should let him co. he is once more entirely at
liberty, and can make terms with his old club
if he chooses to do SO, can sign with any other
League team. You observe. therefore, that the
whole matter hinges series of private agree
ments, perfectly legitimate Ill themselves. which
do not in any way transgress the laws of the
League or the provisions of the national agree
ment The League expressly countenances the
selling of players, and the repurchase follows
a natural corollary.
II can imagine instances where this practice
might work injury. A club. for instance, might
pool with another for the purpose of gaining on
a common adversary but, in such case, the in
tent would doubtless be sufficiently apparent to
justify the League authorities in taking heroic
measures 10 right the wrong"

A Boston Opinion.


This Indianapolis team was disappointment,
not on the result of the games, but on the gen.
eral playing of the team. That it is doomed to
the last place in the is the prevailing opin-
ion. AS one looks over the team he is i'm pressed
with the singular shortsigh sdness which seems
to have been the policy of the management in
the selection of players Three men
leased by Boston alone that would have
strengthened Indianapolis where it is now weak.
Does anyone doubt that Bufdnton and Cunning
would have made splendid battery to help out
Boyle and Myers? Ask Harry Wright If he
would dispose of these players for twice what he
paid for them. Tom Poorman is superior
any outfelder that Indianapolis has to-day. All
three of these men could have been secured for
a mere song. Buffnton has shown by his work
thus far that he is not back-number pitcher of
no account. He is not centre fielder in the
sense that Johnston, Gore or Hanlon are centre
felders, but he play right field fairly; he
would make good first baseman if kept steadily
IN the position, and he is hard hitter. There
other players that could have been secured
for Indianapolis than much of the stock it has
hand. The policy of the management seems
to indicate but one year in the League.

Athletics, IS; Cleveland, 6.

CLEVELAND, May 23-Sweeney's second at
tempt in the box for Cleveland was a dismal
failure. and the Athletics won the game in the
first inning by batting him all the field.
The game was totally devoid of interest TO those
who saw it. Mexican played miserably at short,
and two errors in the outfeld were very costly.
Seward pitched for the Athletics, and except in
the second and ninth innings his delivery could
not be touched. The visitors felded strong
game The most noticeable feature about the
contest was the absence of all coaching, which
had been agreed to by the arrangements of both
clubs before the game. It worked like charm,
avoiding many disagreeable occurrences such as
have marked games here before and it shortened
the time OF the game considerably. Bierbauer
made marvellous stop in the ninth inning.

on any compromise of these fundamental differ

would serve only to bring together those who
could not act in harmony. and would perpetuate
strife and alienation. These conclusions have
been reached by us after full and careful ex-
animation OF the whole question, in the light OF

The discussion of the QUESTION for some time past,

ifest that the further agitation of this question
would hinder the progress. weaken the efficiency
and endanger the unity of our own church.
The minimum minority report dissents from
the position of the majority, and says: Union
of the two great bodies of Preshyterians would
make too large body. and its entertainment
would be intoerabe burden on the churches
where meetings should be held. Union would
produce dismemberment of the Southern church,

Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1887-10-08
PhilIpsburg 70 be the Leading
Town In Northwestern
Kansas.

D
We are aware that it has become a
custom for western newspapers to boom
their towns with great zeal and persis-
tency, and sometimes there is ground
for suspicion that the editors when
writing up their favorite towns, ''draw
the long bow" a little. We hope no
/ reader of the HERALD will come to that
conclusion when they read our claim
that Philipsburg, as We believe, is des-
tined to become the most popuIous and
most important city Of northwestern
Kansas Let us with soberness and in
all candOrs state a few Of the many rea-
sons why We believe this
Ist. This Phillips county, Is one of
the best in this great state. 1t is loca-
ted far enough east and north to be in
ahe rain bells Every year we get more
rain than they do south or west of US.
1t is a fine agricultural country. 1t is
well watered by living streams, hence
is a good live stock county.
"a. Railroads. make towns in these
latter days. Phiilipsburg is on the
main line of the Chicago Rock Island
and Pacific Road Cknown in Kansas as
the G. X. & NJ half way from St. Joe,
Mo-, to Denver, Colorado. Here has
been located the division for both
freight and passenger business, and
Machine shops are to be erected. The
Round House is now in process of
building. The Railroad Town Com
pany, have purchased at high price d,
81, 900 acres of land adjoining or close
10 the town site and are laying off ex-
tensive additions. Tie statement
comes from those who are in position
to know that the officers OF the
Great Rock Island system intend
Phillipsburg to be their principal town
between st. Joe and Denver. A branch
is TO be built from SaIiDa to this place
which shortens the route from Denver
to Kansas City by several miles.
Sd. Oar location, so far as the lay Of
the land is concerned, is most admira-
BILE. The drainage is superb, and yet
the ground is not broken nor too I'M
even. We have plenty of good water.
4th. We have within one mile of the
public square, in great abundance, fire
clay, potters clay, and brick clay
that resembles, and is every whit as
good as the celebrated brick clay of
Milwaukee, Wis. Our Court House,
one bank and other buildings have been
constructed from brick made Of this
clay and it IS pronounced as good as
the Milwaukee.
9th. We have no rival town within
about forty miles. Our climate, rich
ness Of soil, abundance Of good build
ing stone, good water, favorable loca-
ton, clay heretofore mentioned, rail
roads, machine shops, with q good
moral, temperate, enterprising pOpu-
ulace which we now have, must in the
very nature Of things, contribute to the
rapid development of Phillipsburg into
a city of several thousands of inhabi-
tants. Mark the HERALD's prediction.
Phillipsburg is to be and will be the
leading city Of fifteen or twenty eoun-
ties of Northwestern Kansas.
